The mission of Portland Public Schools Head Start is to use our program strengths to build social competence in young children by enhancing children's growth and development, strengthening parents as the primary nurturers of children, providing families and children with educational, health, and nutritional services, linking children and families to needed community services, and ensuring the involvement of parents in decision making.

Children who are 3 to 5 years old are eligible for Head Start services. Pregnant women and children from birth to 3 years of age are eligible for Early Head Start services. Children and families who are homeless, in foster care, or receive TANF or SSI are also eligible for services. Eligibility is determined by Head Start program staff and some families may be eligible for services if they are determined to be at or below the federal poverty level. Some grantees enroll a percentage of children from families with incomes above the Poverty Guidelines as well.

Families are encouraged to apply.
